Much has been made of trip after Merkel and Donald Trump's first meeting in March in Washington, D.C.

During her first international trip as an official adviser to her father, Ivanka Trump was booed when she mentioned the president's name before sharing a warm handshake with Angela Merkel one month after he awkwardly snubbed the German Chancellor.

President Donald Trump's eldest daughter spoke during the Women's 20 Summit in Berlin at the start of a jam-packed one-day tour after being 'directly invited' by Merkel last month.

While Merkel visited the U.S. in March, the president seemingly ignored requests from the press to shake Merkel's hand while the pair were meeting in the Oval Office. He was heavily criticized for not doing so and mocked by man on social media.

However, Ivanka did not follow in her father's footsteps and shared a friendly handshake with Merkel after participating in the panel discussion on women's entrepreneurship alongside Merkel, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland and IMF chief Christine Lagarde.

While trying to defend her father, the mother-of-three was booed and hissed at by the majority-female audience when she told the room, 'I'm very proud of my father's advocacy' before she said that he's a 'tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive.'

The moderator, WirtschaftsWoche editor-in-chief Miriam Meckel, interrupted Ivanka and said, 'You hear the reaction from the audience, so I need to address one more point. Some attitudes towards women, your father has publicly displayed in former times might leave one questioning whether he's such an empower-er for women. How do you relate to that or are things changing? What's your comment on that?'

'I've certainly heard the criticism from the media and that's been perpetuated,' Ivanka replied.

In addition, Meckel, grilled Ivanka about what exactly her role is her father's administration.

'You're the First Daughter of the United States, and you're also an assistant to the president,' Meckel said.

When asked about what her role as an assistant to the president was, Ivanka (above) replied: 'Certainly not the latter. I'm rather unfamiliar with this role as well...It has been a little under 100 days and it has just been a remarkable and incredible journey.'

The First Daughter (second left) did not give a definition as to what her job title entails, but did state that she cared 'very much about empowering women in the workplace'.

Ivanka (left) defined her goal as enacting 'incremental positive change. That is my goal. This is very early for me, I'm listening, learning.'

'The German audience is not that familiar with the concept of a First Daughter. I'd like to ask you, what is your role, and who are you representing, your father as president of the United States, the American people, or your business?'

Ivanka, who was seated next to Lagarde, replied: 'Certainly not the latter. I'm rather unfamiliar with this role as well...It has been a little under 100 days and it has just been a remarkable and incredible journey.'

She defined her goal as enacting 'incremental positive change. That is my goal. This is very early for me, I'm listening, learning.'

Ivanka also defended her father discussing how he treated her the same as her two brothers.

'As a daughter, I can speak on a very personal level,' Ivanka said. 'I grew up in a house where there was no barriers to what I could accomplish beyond my own perseverance and tenacity. That's not an easy thing to do, he provided that for us. There was no difference.'

She also redited her father's administration for hiring women in important roles.

'The team basically going through the vetting and hiring process -- six out of eight of those people are women,' Ivanka said.

Ivanka is scheduled later Tuesday afternoon to visit the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.

Much has been made of the visit after Merkel's frosty meeting with Trump in Washington last month where the US President seemingly declined to shake his German counterpart's hand, opting instead for an uneasy joke about wiretapping.

After speaking during the W20, Ivanka then went to the Siemens mechantronic factory to visit the Siemens Technik Akademie. She is pictured right meeting the CEO of Siemens Joe Kaeser, center, and trainee Thomas Jackques, left

Germany is proud of its vocational training system. Siemens says it currently has some 12,000 young people worldwide, including 9,000 in Germany, in "two-track" programs that combine study with practical training. Above Ivanka talks to trainee during her visit at the Siemens Technik Akademie

The Germans are immensely curious about the Ivanka, wondering if she'll be the moderating force she portrays herself to be, or simply a 'loyal accomplice' as German newspaper Berliner Zeitung mused, nicknaming Trump 'First Flusterin' or 'the first whisperer.'

The president's eldest daughter's visit was at the direct invitation of Chancellor Angela Merkel, the White House said, after the two met in Washington in March.

To prepare for the panel discussion, Ivanka spent weeks preparing, diving into McKinsey & Company reports on women in the workforce, Politico reported. She wanted to successfully highlight the role of women in the global economy and talk about the importance of their access to capital.

The First Daughter started her day with a visit to the American embassy in Berlin where she met ambassador Kent Logsdon who was appointed on January 20.

She is set to visit Siemens Technik Akademie, which comes a month after she held a round-table discussion with Merkel on 'Vocational Education and Workforce Development' as 'education and skills training' is 'central to Ivanka and Chancellor Merkel's agenda.'

She is also going to pay her respects at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews in Europe during her Tuesday trip, which comes on the heels of Press Secretary Sean Spicer's Holocaust gaffe.

'You know, you had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn't even sink to using chemical weapons.'

Spicer apologized multiple times, but the gaffe didn't do the Trump administration any favors as acts of anti-Semitism have increased since President Trump has taken power.

But Ivanka, who is herself Jewish, tweeted on Monday: 'Today, we honor the six million Jews whose lives were taken during the Holocaust and pledge - never again.'

CNN reported Monday that anti-Semitic incidents are up 86 percent compared to the same period of time last year.

Ivanka's visit is in honor of, Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, but is also a savvy public relations move for the administration, in the aftermath of the Spicer incident.

Adding a little glitz and glamour to her first solo trip as both First Daughter and an official White House aide, Ivanka will conclude her day with a gala dinner.

Ivanka continues to play an outsized role in her father's administration, compared to her stepmother Melania Trump, who only sporadically dips into DC.

The White House refers to Ivanka as an assistant to her father and the First Daughter, and she is thought to be sharing the role of First Lady with Melania who spends a bulk of her time in New York where her son Barron attends school.

The First Lady was on hand, however, last week played host at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday.

She also accompanied her husband to Walter Reed over the weekend, to award a veteran the Purple Heart.

Ivanka traveled to Berlin with three staffers - Dina Powell, the deputy national security adviser and senior economic counselor, Hope Hicks, a communications adviser who was her father's campaign press secretary and her new chief of staff Julie Radford, according to Politico.

In spite of the uproar caused by her father's well-documented sexist remarks, Ivanka's advocacy for women and girls landed her in the conference, which had been dubbed as an attention-getting outing aimed at building support for investment in women's economic empowerment programs.

Back home, the First Daughter's plan to push for policies that benefit working mothers is getting less of the spotlight.

Ivanka, an unpaid White House adviser, has not yet offered specific legislation or publicly revealed how she plans to move forward with the child care and family leave policies she promoted during her father's campaign.

But a senior administration official says she and others have been working quietly behind the scenes to revise her campaign proposals and build momentum.

In advance of the summit, Ivanka Trump co-authored an op-ed in the Financial Times, calling for more global efforts to invest in women's economic empowerment.

'The evidence is overwhelming that supporting women's economic participation has enormous dividends for families, communities and whole economies,' she wrote with Jim Yong Kim, the president of the World Bank.

The First Daughter has spent the first three months of her father's presidency talking about women's empowerment, often at White House forums and round tables.

On Monday, she joined her father for a conversation with astronauts on the International Space Station and touted a bill the president signed that asks the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to encourage girls to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

'Encouraging women and girls to pursue STEM careers is a major priority for this administration,' Ivanka Trump said.

Her moves toward policy have been far less public.

She has met privately with lawmakers, including a sit-down with Republican women in February.

Ivanka's challenge is persuading a Republican-led Congress with a plate full of other priorities.

Lawmakers are focused on repealing President Barack Obama's health care law and overhauling the tax code, and lawmakers are less eager to take on a proposal more likely to pique the interest of Democrats.

At Ivanka's urging, Trump's campaign proposed six weeks of leave for mothers - although not fathers - with the government paying wages equivalent to unemployment benefits.

The proposal also included new income tax deductions for child care expenses and a new rebate or tax credit for low-income families.

But the official said the draft child care plan has shifted away from a tax deduction -which critics say would benefit wealthier families.
